To My Would Be Bridesmaid

It was you who made my school days memorable, 

Without whom the golas and phuchkas wouldn't have been so relishing.. 

It was you who had my back on days of tuition bunk, 

It was you whom I could trust with all my secrets. 

During my breakups you made it sure that I don't cry alone, 

It was you who cheered me up every time I was friend zoned! 

School became college but you remained my constant, 

It wasn't easy to bear my mood swings but you knew me better. 

I could survive one long distance relation because the other half was you, 

We became busier in life and our meaningless conversations became due. 

I dreamt of being an entrepreneur with you as my business partner

After a day bad or good, you are my keeper.

More than mine it is your denials that I turn down creepy proposals, 

You are my Monica when I am a vulnerable Rachel. 

You are my Hasan, you are my favourite. 

I might not tell you often but you also have an Amir. 

I needed you then and I need you now, 

You make forever look so real, I seize to justify how.

I may have twelve other bridesmaids on my special day,

But it is you without whom I'll fail to say "I do"
